Imphal, February 03 2014:
With the primary objective of easing traffic congestion in Imphal city and keep away heavy vehicles from the city's core zone, a high-level meeting presided by Chief Minister O Ibobi today decided to construct a 40 Km long ring road with loan from the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
The breadth of the road will be 30 metres.
The meeting held in the Chief Minister's office chamber was attended by Ministers and high-ranking officers.
The meeting also decided to hire Inter Continental Technocraft as consultant for the proposed ring road.
Construction work of the ring road would start in November or December this year.
The ring road which is expected to be fully constructed within a period of five years would connect Imphal East DC office, Imphal West DC office, JNIMS, RIMS, New Secretariat and High Court complex.
Field survey for the ring road has been already completed but a detailed project report is yet to be prepared.
The meeting also discussed about construction of three guest houses for VIPs at the plot earlier occupied by the High Court.
A power point presentation was also given at the meeting about the three proposed guest houses which would be constructed by three consultants.
